The word we translate as "worship" in the Bible means to sacrifice the blood of any animal. Christ finished that so now we Praise!!!!!
We no longer need to sacrifice animals as a demonstration of worship to God. Christ sacrificed Himself for us so that the killing of animals is no longer necessary.
The animal sacrifices of the old testament was a demonstration of faith in what was to come that is Christ. The blood on the door posts at the Passover,was a picture of Christ to come. When He sacrificed Himself He did away with these expressions of future events and now we rest in His finished work on the cross.
We no longer "worship" through sacrifice of animals, but we praise Him because He finished it all with His own blood on the cross.
John 4:23-24
23 But a time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people, the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Worshiping in Spirit is not in actions, sacrifices or through objects of any kind, but in the Spiritual and in the Truth, Christ is Spirit and He is Truth.
